[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/dp: add a delay before setting panel brightness after power on

Panel in my Dell XPS 7590, that uses Intel's HDR backlight interface to
control brightness, apparently needs a delay before setting brightness
after power on. Without this delay the panel does accept the setting
and may come up with some arbitrary brightness (sometimes it's too dark,
sometimes it's too bright, I wasn't able to find a system).

I don't have access to the spec, so I'm not sure if it's expected
behavior or a quirk for particular device.

Delay was chosen by experiment: it works with 100ms, but fails with
anything lower than 75ms.
